ST.. PATRICX'S DAY.
The Parade in Chicago of Numerous Soci-
eties--Division Among the Hibernias--
Congressman Finerty Delivers an Ad-
dIess--Celebration in Philadelphia.

CHICAGO, March 17.-St. Patrick's day is
than for many years before. The Irish popu.
lation almost to a man seems 10 have taken a
holiday, and the streets are crowded with
"wesrers OF the green" In the procession
which commenced to form on the West Side
shortly after II O'Clock, nearly every Irish
society was represented. Among them were
the Clan-na-Gael Guards, Hibernia Rifles,
one faction OF the Ancient order Of Hiber-
Dians, the Father Matthew and other total
abstinence societies, the sodalities attached
Tia the various churches, and various bcneyo-
lent unions. The procession passed through
the principal streets of the North and West
sides.
The faction Of the ancient order Of Hibern-
ians which refused TO parade will hold a dem
onstration In the Cavalry arInory tonight,
previous to which the division Will parade to
the depot TO receive Rev. Father Cleary, the
orator OF The evening, and who Is also presi-
dent of the National Total Abstinence society.
John Dewey, Of New York, III be another prir-
cipal speaker. This fact on OF the order is the
one recognized 10y the Board of Erin. and is
opposed To parades on the ground that The
regalia costs money which might with better
grace be devoted To the purposes of the Land
League, while they also lead to drinking and
other practices which are not calculated to be
beneficial to the best interests OF the order.
The Irish American club will observe the day
by a banquet at the Sherman house, at which
ex-Cosgressman Finerty will crate.
CELEBRATION IN PHILADELPHIA.
PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-THE ST. Patrick's
day parade was a large and orderly one.
Much TO the disappointment Of many OF the
participants, however, the archbishop refused
TO review the parade. The refusal was based
upon the ground that, while he had Il great
deal OF respect for many members OF the An
cient Order Of Hibernians, yet he could not
review II, because, although 1t Is a society
OF Catholics, 1t is not a Catholic society"
This ground Is cor sidered rather peculiar in
ew IF the fact that the archbishop's prede-
cessor, the late Archbishop Wood, reviewed
the st. Patrick's day parade for the last ten
years OF his life without a single omission
QUIETLY CELEBRATED IN RELAND.
LONDON, March 11.-Reports from Ireland
state that st. Patrica's day is being quietly
observed. The feature OF the day In London
is the number Of Englishmen who display the
shamrock In their coat lapels.

Courier Journal: The Louisville leaf
tobacco trade held a meeting and pro-
tested against that section OF the Inter-
State Commerce bill which relates to
long and short hauls.
GAINESVILLE, as a tobacco market can
not be injured by the passage Of the
bill. We are in the heart of the tobac-
co region and therefore we can compete
successfully for the trade. The chief
thing we need here now Is half a dozen
factories 80 that when the tobacco
leaves GAINESVILLE it will be prepared
for any marketin the world. 1t isnow
a certainty that the tobacco tax will be
abolished and then the market will also
be open to the farmers to sell their to-
bacco in any form 10 whom they will,
and this ofitself will add thousands Of
hogsheads to our sales.

Milan Exchange An important
scheme has developed in Memphis
which promises great things for West
Tennessee if the people will encourage
it. A syndicate of gentlemen, the
principal officers OF which are Col. F.
NJ. White, Gen. R. P. Nicely and Hon.
D. P. Hadden, have united their brains
and capital to buy up and improve the
big farms and large uncultivated tracts
of land in this part of the State and
sell them out in small farms on long
time to immigrants. We believe it
is one Of the best ideas yet developed
for our good. 1t is not a wildgoose
speculation, but is based on the best
farming land in America. We pub
lish the address Of the company in
this issue, and hope it will receive the
hearty endorsement OF all our people.

THE CAUCUS.
[Bannef.1

The machine gained its point yester-
day afternoon, and by the "whoop- EN-
up" policy secured a caucus. The
meeting OF Democratic members was
curiously incongruous and the methods
by which the caucus was made to ma
terialize we're remarkable and in beau
tiful disregard of parliamentary rules.
The Banner is just now finding out
that Democrats in the Legislature don't
recognize it as a member of the party.
The Banner can now go into caucus
with Col. Colyar, and ii neither of them
can pray they can at least take up a
collection.
